Thanks for this video. It seems based on experience and grounded in backpacking. So many videos are dudes out bushcrafting in the backyard. I’ve been searching for that perfect tool for splitting wood in the back country. I found the tiny hatchets to be worthless, next I tried the big knives and they work fine but they seem lacking if a guy needs to actually heat and cook with wood. Everyone pushes the 2lb axe head on a 2’ stick and that just seems too heavy to haul in the backcountry. I’m excited to try a small axe like this vs my skrama.

I absolutely loved my Mullins but somewhat of a problem this year- radiant floor heat and the soles have melted and got sticky. Don’t know if I will purchase again but I did love them

I hope you delivered on that knuckle sandwich lol 😂 love it

Guarendam teed also

Sorry to hear that he passed. Seemed like a nice guy. It's good of you to offer an update. I'm thinking of buying some and this was a helpful review. My condolences. We all would love an update

Thank you for sharing your experience with your awesome boot. I want to buy a pair for my husband as X-mas gift this year. Which website you bought this ? Thank you very much.

very nice, you guys having so much fun

So now that you have them are they too warm? I'm in Southern Ohio. Hardly ever see negatives

Those are damn fine boots.

Hello, one of his sons here. My father has passed away a while back. A lot of you are asking for an update video from him and sadly he won't be able to do so. Though most of everyone asking for an update was months ago, let me know. I have these boots he worn in my possession and gladly will give an update review. My Father would definitely want me to do this for his viewers, your feedback is appreciated.

What did you eventually switch to? I'm thinking between MSR Dromedary and this Nalgene's Cantene.

Good god man, you ramble on waaaay to much. That gets you a thumbs down.👎

They will be comfortable on long walks with heavy loads. But they are made for snow! They will not hold up to sharp sticks and rocks.

Can we get a update thanks 👍

Not worth the time, he japps about his life, for 7:20 minutes, untill he reveals, has never worn these boots.

They’re $20 now

To get the best performance from your muck Luk is to dry it out Every night! There are cheap but effective boot dryers you can purchase for this. And wear two pairs of scocks, the sock over your skin should be a thinner Wicking material sock.Over that, wear a cushion y thick sock , cotton or wool. Dry them out Every night. Antarctic Veteran, 4 seasons, got all my toes.

Antarctic test and evaluation for cold weather, including BOOTs for the U.S. Military with a hearty budget. The warmest boot is the Bunny boot. But it is Heavy and clumbsey, but is water proof. For extreme cold weather the boot of choice, used in the polar regions was the N-1b (Air Force) Muck Luk With felt liner. And You can buy a brand new pair for under $55 US. The Canadian military uses a nearly identical boot\Muck Luk. I used a single pair all 4 years in Antarctica. Only changing the felt liner every year.

Hi Rich, it’s December 2020 ... how are the Mukluks?

11/28/20 Would appreciate an up date.

That is great. Thank you for sharing this helpful video!

Can you do an update video?

It was painful watching Les butcher that branch. Impossible to evaluate the hatchet, the way he mishandled it.

I bought a pair of Mukluks used from Ebay, sportsman's guide brand but later I saw the same boot with different sole labeled by Timberland. Either way so glad I tried them and yes it's very much a slipper boot cozy enough to chill in and its lined with that white lambs wool, awesome

MUKLUKS ARE “indian” boots. It’s not an English word, and first nation peoples has been wearing them for hundreds if not thousands of years. I’d rather by from actual indigenous craftsmen/women, than some overpriced cultural appropriation product sold by white people.

Did you ever have to reseal the seams on the fly or tent & if so, what did you use?

Black Diamond discontinued manufacturing & selling this tent a couple of years ago. I, too, have one of these tents. I just thought of something. Candles, I wonder what the temperature differential might be if a person lit 2 candles & left them burning all night.

I like your plaid shirt-jacket too, apart from your awesome boots.

Great video! I truly enjoyed.

This is a very beneficial review. I really like how u go in depth explaining how they aren’t waterproof and the importance. This video is worthy of having a place on the company’s website. Thanks a bunch!😁👍👍

Good stuff!!

I have one also and can't remember if it is duck or goose. I think it's goose.

I really like this axe. It is a shame that GB ran Wetterlings to the ground. It would be nice for someone else to pick up this design.

We all want an update

I have a cabin right down the road and I've never been here, really need to start walking the trails. I bet it would look even better in fall.

This appears to be the same tent as the Kelty Tempest 2 . The only difference I noticed is the orange zipper cover is on the other side and the lack of a popup vent on the back of the rainfly . Kept me dry on many outings especially late April '19 in the Cherokees (4 days of near relentless rain , sometimes it was almost scary) . Great review !!

Did you waterproof the rain fly before taking this out, or did it perform well without having to treat it? Great review by the way!

but a bivvi bag on the collar usgi hurrah

I just sent for the LLBeen 20° Synthetic bag. it weighs 1 lb 14oz. I figure to back it up with my 950 down Quilt if it gets cold. that quilt is 1.5 lbs and is 10° . I can call that a pillow. but this new llbeen synthrtic is revolutionary. they have a zero° synthetic that's over 3 lbs.

Kelty still makes it here in 2019 and I am thinking of grabbing one. Normally a sub-3lb hammock setup rests in my pack, but I have been getting back into tents for some fun little adventures. Looks like a great tent--hope it held up on harsher storms--I will check to see any updates. What do you use now?

Oh god

Katana silky is to big for bush craft unless your planning on crafting a log cabin

Quetico comes from the French phrase quête de la côte.

The #1 way to keep your FEET warm is to keep them DRY!!! #1 way to keep your FEET DRY is ANTIPERSPIRANT!,!. Learned that in -40 degrees weather in Korea.

Im typically a Tomahawk guy, but I bought a Bushman axe several years ago. Its my late fall, and winter axe. I ended up cutting the handle down to 17 inches, blackened the handle with flame, drilled a new lanyard hole, and wrapped the handle end with paracord to catch a tired hand. I call her The Beast, and its a very effective tool. Nice video, and tool collection.

I love all my Kelty stuff.

Smoking butts in your house huh? That's cool

It`s better/more powerful than the Scandinavian F from GB? Splits better? I mean, the Scandinavian is heavier and have a longer handle. Maybe a thinner edge. IDK

Amazon 9/26/18 ... $467.47!!!! You gotta be SHITT'N me. Almost 4X price just because of a guy's name? That ain't gonna happen! There are MANY other BETTER choices.

I have had the same boots as yours, going on about four years now, and it’s like wearing your slippers out in the snow! When ordering your mukluks though, I was told to make sure to order them one size larger than normal, so they are not too snug. I highly recommend also, that you get yourself a couple tall pair of alpaca socks to go with them! They are so soft, & keep your feet warm & dry, making them the perfect addition to this amazingly comfortable footwear. When you wash alpaca though, you need to hand wash them with shampoo, rinse well, wring them out, & let them hang dry, cuz if you wash them the conventional way, and put them in the dryer, they will shrink to the point you’ll never be able to wear them again, & that’s no fun! I found though, & I’m just being honest, even though my mukluks are amazingly comfortable, when Ice fishing or snowmobiling, I prefer a stiffer, more conventional boot for both water proofing & stiffness for support. Ps. Make sure you watch the how to lace video that the Steger company makes. I had been lacing the bottom part wrong the whole time, and didn’t realize it.
